Abstract
Scheler’s essay on ‘Cognition and Work’ (1926) occupies some 200 large, finely printed pages. Its subtitle, ‘A Study of the Value and the Limits of the Pragmatic Motiv [“Motiv” is both motif and motive] in the Cognition of the World,’ might make one expect Scheler to treat both the pragmatic motive in cognition and the pragmatic component of cognition, that is, one might expect him to engage in both a psychological and a phenomenological inquiry.
